The open skylight of the hotel attic is close to the alley facing the street. The stone road below is not wide. Occasionally, there can be sounds of footsteps from people passing by.
Aphrodite sat on the windowsill, holding on to the rafters protruding from the attic window, raising her head to look at the moonlight in the night sky, seemingly lost in memories.
“There is no day or night in the Fiery Hell. The sky is always red. The earth is divided by countless rivers of lava and is covered with charred rocks.” She said.
"King Amozdan rules the land of sin. The hell realm is constantly collapsing every day. It is full of dangerous black flames and some powerful and unknown terrifying beasts. Every day, many people from the demon clan die due to those dangerous environments.
Die."
“I don’t know what the other six realms of the Fiery Hell are like, at least the place of sin where I am is like this.”
“I also very much hope that one day I can leave that barren land. I always dream of lying on the grass and basking in the sun one day.”
Her side face looked particularly soft, and she spoke very standard Green Empire language. She turned her head with a smile on her face, and said to Surdak who was sitting at the desk: "I finally waited for such an opportunity, and I can't wait."
Entering a new dimension."
Then he sighed and said: "But when I arrived at the Maca plane, I discovered that many things were not as beautiful as I imagined... No matter where we went, it meant killing, racial invasion and endless war...
…Actually, these are not what I want.”
Those eyes as magnificent as purple grapes were full of longing for the future life. She continued to say to Suldak:
"I want to live a different life, but I don't want to disturb anyone, let alone hurt others. I don't like the smell of sulfur floating in the air, and I don't want to always pay attention to whether the ground beneath my feet will spurt out when I walk.
Fire, I don’t want to experience those time and space storms and insect swarms. I just want to live the life I want quietly. Those beautiful lives, when I open my eyes, I can see the blue sky, white clouds, sunshine, grass..."
Surdak thought about the situation in Wall Village. Blue sky, white clouds, and masculinity seemed to be easily satisfied, except that the grassland had to go to the tidal flats in the lower reaches of the river valley, but basically everything was satisfied. He pondered for a moment.
After a while, he said to the succubus Aphrodite: "If you go to the continent of Roland, you will be asked to give up some things, or you will be restricted to do certain things. Are you willing?"
The succubus Aphrodite suddenly asked: "Will I lose my freedom?"
“Well, I can’t do this!”
Suldak replied.
“Will the situation be worse than now?”
“No way!”
Aphrodite asked in confusion: "Are you asking me to betray King Amozdan?"
Suldak rubbed his forehead and said: "We have no plans to attack the Flame Hell for the time being."
“What else can there be?” Aphrodite asked, blinking.
Surdak organized his language and said: "I need to sign a magic agreement with you to prevent us from hurting each other and our relatives and friends around us... Of course, other people can't do it, nor can we use any means to harm each other.
Find and leak any information about Roland Continent!"
Aphrodite finally understood. The smile on her face became much lighter, and there was even a trace of disappointment in her eyes. She said: "Are you worried that I will hurt them? Well, that's okay. I never thought about it."
Hurt anyone, so what do I do?”
Surdak took out a magic scroll from his magic pocket. This contract scroll was bought at the grocery store in Bena City. He placed the magic scroll on the table and said to Aphrodite bravely.
: "This is a scroll of a contract of equal symbiosis. I'm afraid we have to sign a contract and promise not to hurt each other."
Aphrodite took the magic scroll in her hand, flipped through it casually, and asked doubtfully:
Aphrodite blinked her big innocent eyes, an intriguing arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, and asked Suldak in a low voice: "Shouldn't it be a master-servant contract? A slave contract? Or a magic pet contract?"
…”
Facing Aphrodite’s teasing, Surdak was speechless.
When signing the contract, Aphrodite seemed very happy. She recited the magic spell of the magic contract scroll familiarly, and drew a simple magic circle. When the scroll was broken, it was on the floor of the attic.
Two overlapping hexagram arrays appeared. Aphrodite stood in the center of the array and asked Surdak to walk in. Aphrodite crossed her hands on her chest and finished reciting the last short sentence.
The spell.
Surdak suddenly found a thin line that was as if there was nothing between him and Aphrodite, like a faint breath. Surdak closed his eyes and could clearly feel the presence of the person standing there.
Aphrodite not far away, that is a very subtle telepathy.
The moment Surdak opened his eyes, Aphrodite looked at him at the same time.
It wasn't until this moment that Surdak discovered that Aphrodite was actually a black magician. Although her wings were cut off, her magical ability was not taken away. All she lost was the ability to fly.
Hypnosis and charm are the instinctive blood talents of the succubus family, and Aphrodite is actually proficient in some black magic.
Aphrodite's gray face turned slightly rosy as Surdak glimpsed her truest self.
The bathroom door was pushed open by the half-elf archer Samira. She walked out wearing long linen clothes and happened to see the six-pointed star array slowly disappearing on the attic floor.
The wound at the base of Aphrodite's wings had not healed completely. Surdak wanted to use the Holy Light to heal her, but he didn't expect that the Holy Light fell on Aphrodite, and it was like hot water splashing on her body.
Her skin made a sizzling sound, and a large chunk of her skin was burned away quickly, which frightened Surdak and stopped him quickly.
That night, Suldak did not sleep well, and Andrew lay on the floor snoring loudly.
On the bed opposite him, which was only separated by a wall, a half-elf and a succubus were lying face to face on the same bed. The two of them didn't seem to be sleepy.
It wasn't until dawn that Surdak fell asleep while tossing and turning.
…
In the afternoon, Surdak and his party returned to the tavern where the shield and sword and ax were hung on the plaque.
Da Jinxi and his men were still hanging out in the tavern. When they saw a magic scroll pushed over by Surdak, Da Jinxi nodded, took a bag of gold coins handed over by Suldak, and said to Suer
Dak said: "Okay, I will arrange this matter. Where should I go to find you after setting a time?"
Suldak said directly: "The Halanza Guard Camp is currently located outside Wozhimara City."
Da Jinxi nodded, his eyes fell on Aphrodite's face covered with black veil, and he asked with some envy: "Are you going to take her back to the city of Halanza?"
Suldak said: "Yes, I want to take her back to Hiranza."
Da Jinxi approached Suldak and said to him: "We have our magic airship at the Bena City Airport Terminal, which can provide you with more convenient services at any time."
“But I want to go with the guard camp.” Surdak refused.
Da Jinxi was noncommittal, took out a small card with a signature from his arms and put it into Suldak's hand, saying: "Take this business card first, maybe it can be useful!"
"good luck!"
"good luck!"
Suldak declined Da Jinxi’s invitation to have a drink with everyone and walked out of the noisy tavern without looking back.
If it weren't for Samila who led the way, who would have known that the most powerful group of slave traders in Wozhimala City had actually gathered here. This group of people specializes in slave trafficking. In addition to some aboriginal slaves from the Maka plane, they also accept various slave traders.
A shady slave trade, such as half-elf and half-orc slaves.
Aphrodite still wanted to stay at the shelter temporarily, and Surdak asked Samira to stay with her.
…
Suldak and Andrew followed a group of light cavalry and successfully walked out of the city of Vozhmala and returned to the location of the Halanza guard camp.
A group of knights were bathing by the moat. After they washed their armor, they dried it on the grass on the bank. The river bank seemed to be bustling with people. Some knights on the roadside greeted Surdak one after another. He still had some impressions of some knights, and some knights
Simply a strange face.
As the city guard battalions completed their mission of clearing out the city, more than a dozen guard battalions were stationed in the open space outside the city. White tents formed a large area. Surdak tried to find the Hellanza guard camp.
It wasn't until he saw the tall figure of the ogre that Surdak relaxed and walked over. Sure enough, he saw Karl standing in the support squadron station, listening to the reports of some team leaders. Karl felt someone coming and turned around to see
Surdak quickly waved to him and shouted: "Dak, you came back at the right time, someone just happened to be looking for you!"
…?”
Suldak gave him a questioning look.
Karl smiled and said to him: "Our old friend..."
Suldak followed Carl into the tent of the support squadron. This is where Carl usually rests. As the squadron leader of the support squadron, his tent looks much more spacious than other tents. In addition to being covered with felt,
There was also a simple desk set up with wooden boxes. A magician wearing magic robes was sitting in the tent, with his back to the door, looking down at the map of Wozhimala City on the table.
Hearing footsteps at the entrance of the tent, the magician turned back and glanced at the door. He saw Karl and Suldak walking in, and quickly stood up from his seat, with a friendly smile on his handsome face.
Suldak asked in surprise: "Lance, how could it be you?"
Lance Magician stepped forward and hugged Suldak, and then said: "Dak, I'm glad to see you here!"
Suldak was not polite and directly asked Lance the question that all the knights in the guard camp were most concerned about: "Is there any news... When can I return to Helensa?"
"This war is going very smoothly. The return date of your guard camp may be decided soon. Our mage group will also conduct a series of investigations here." The young magician Lance gave an affirmative answer, although there was no
No specific return date was given, but it is obvious that this matter has been on the agenda of the headquarters.
The three of them sat down in the tent, and Lance said to Suldak: "Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with you."
“What’s wrong?” Surdak asked in confusion.
"It's not that your team secretly captured the black magician Jesse Houseman. It is estimated that the war here will not come to an end so soon. He is an amazing space magician. If he escapes this time,
He can build another hell passage in the Maca plane at any time, and that is what we are most worried about." The young magician Lance said to the two of them.
Suldak didn't expect that a black magician he captured at random would turn out to be a crucial figure in the opposite Cerberus Legion.
This time, the Hilanza Guard Battalion shined brightly among many guard battalions and attracted much attention in the Bena Army. This is not unrelated to the meritorious service of Surdak.
Viscount Emmett has received invitations from various parties in recent days. Not only other security battalions in Bena Province, but also some generals of the Bena garrison want to make friends with Viscount Emmett, the commander of the Helensa Guard Camp.
In just two months, the war in the Maca plane was quelled. No matter how weak the opponent was, this was also a highlight that could not be concealed in the Green Empire where plane wars frequently broke out. Marquis Luther would record a glorious event in his life history.
.
Moreover, all the forces that supported this war in the first place will receive more generous rewards.
There is no way, this is war. If you fail, all your investment may be lost, but once you win, the huge benefits that will follow will definitely be more exaggerated than those of a nouveau riche who suddenly became rich overnight.
Lance suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Suldak: "By the way, Dak, do you remember Samoa?"
Suldak was slightly startled and said: "Of course, how could I forget her? She almost killed me at Fox Manor."
Lance magician said to Suldak: "Speaking of which, all the premeditations here have a great relationship with Samoa, and that Jesse Houseman is also one of the six magicians of the Hermitage of Black Magic.
First, they once gathered in Helensa City to study the Devil's Gate. Unfortunately, Jesse Housemanma and Gretel.\nDuring the academic research process, Magician Hutt had many different ideas.
We left Helensa City on the way."
Suldak didn’t expect Jesse Houseman to be the sixth magician.
Lance smiled faintly and said to Suldak: "This time the black magic monastery in Helensa City was exposed, and several magicians exposed their identities one after another. This Samoan magician left Helensa, taking a part of
The core research results found Jesse Hausman hiding in Wozhimala City."
"Speaking of which, Jesse Hausman, the magician, is quite amazing. He actually found the ruins of a city from the Hex era on the outskirts of Wozhimala, and borrowed some Hex technology and magic concepts to successfully recreate it.
A hell passage similar to the summoning gate..."
Listening to the Lance magician talking about the secret behind this, Karl and Suldak couldn't help but look at each other.
“…” Surdak paused before asking: “Have you captured Samoa?”
Lance shook his head with fear on his face and whispered: "Not only did she not be caught, but if Magician Miller hadn't taken action in time, maybe she would have used her own magic pool as a trigger to trigger a space storm, or really detonate the hell passage.
, causing a space storm, I’m afraid we can’t sit here and chat peacefully now…”
